New arbitrated quantum signature of classical messages against collective amplitude damping noise

Recently, Chong et al. [Opt. Comm. 284, (2011) 893-895] pointed out that a dishonest party in Yang and Wen's arbitrated quantum signature scheme [Opt. Comm. 283, (2010) 3198-3201] is able to reveal the other party's secret key without being detected by using the Trojan-horse attacks. However, the solution to avoid the attack still remains open. This work further points out that in Yang and Wen's scheme, the arbitrator is unable to arbitrate the dispute between two users. Consequently, a user can deny that he/she has signed or verified a signature without performing a Trojan-horse attack. A solution is proposed to solve this problem as well as the open problem mentioned earlier.     

基于压缩感知的欠定源信号恢复算法比较

构建了基于压缩感知的欠定盲源分离源信号恢复模型,比较研究了基于互补匹配追踪算法(CMP)、基于L1范数的互补匹配追踪算法(L1CMP)和基于修正牛顿的径向基函数算法(NRASR)实现欠定源信号恢复的应用效果。结果表明：源信号时域充分稀疏情况下,CMP,L1CMP和NRASR的恢复效果接近,但L1CMP算法计算复杂度最低;变换域充分稀疏情况下,CMP和L1CMP恢复效果接近,NRASR恢复效果较差;时域非充分稀疏情况下,CMP效果较差,L1CMP和NRASR效果接近。综合考虑,L1CMP算法效果最佳;在观测信号数和源数较少的情况下,算法在时域恢复信号精度会下降;稀疏表示法结合压缩感知重构能够提高源信号恢复的效果。     

A new eight-dimensional Lie superalgebra and two corresponding hierarchies of evolution equations

A new eight-dimensional Lie superalgebra is constructed and two isospectral problems with six potentials are designed. Corresponding hierarchies of nonlinear evolution equations, as well as super-AKNS and super-Levi, are derived. Their super-Hamiltonian structures are established by making use of the supertrace identity, and they are integrable in the sense of Liouville.

New insights on amorphous silicon-nitride microcavities

All amorphous silicon-nitride planar optical microcavities operating in the visible range have been grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The luminescence intensity of the N-rich silicon-nitride layer from a microcavity with 6 period distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) is two order of magnitude higher than that of the luminescent layer without the cavity. Moreover, a strong directionality of the microcavities emission can be observed. Such results can be ascribed to the anisotropic optical density of states induced in the Fabry–Perot structure. The quality factors of the resonators are strictly correlated to the number of periods of the DBRs.     

Photoinduced phase transition accompanied with the changes in magnetic properties

Recently, many studies have been started in search for materials which show a photoinduced phase transition (PIPT). In this work, we review two systems as typical examples of PIPT accompanied with changes in magnetic characteristics; (1) organo-metal complex [Fe(2-pic)₃]Cl₂ EtOH (2-pic = 2-amino-methyl-pyridine) and (2) III-V based magnetic semiconductors (In_1-x , Mn _x )As. In the former case, we show several nonlinear characteristics in dynamical process of photoinduced spin state transition from low-spin to high-spin states. In the latter one, photocarrier-induced ferromagnetic order has been observed by both magnetic and transport measurements.     

Superconducting property of Zr–Co and Zr–Co–Al alloys fabricated by rapid solidification

The superconducting property of Zr_(1−x)Co_x (x = 10–50 at.%) alloys and a Zr₅₅Co₃₀Al₁₅ bulk metallic glass fabricated using techniques of rapid solidification was investigated. The Zr₅₅Co₃₀Al₁₅ alloy crystallized by heat treatment in a vacuum atmosphere exhibited superconductivity of T_c,on = 2.4 K. This was attributable to the superconducting property of a crystalline Zr–Co alloy precipitated in the Zr₅₅Co₃₀Al₁₅ alloy. The T_c,on of the crystalline Zr_(1−x)Co_x alloy was sensitive to the Co content. The increase of Co content for the Zr_(1−x)Co_x alloy led to the decrease of T_c,on. The Zr_(1−x)Co_x alloy exhibited superconductivity of a maximum T_c,on = 3.9 K for the Zr₈₀Co₂₀ alloy with superconducting nanocrystal particles embedded in the amorphous matrix.
